which side are you on?

The fight between structured and practicability has always been a struggle for me.

I was having one of the better driving classes last Saturday. My instructor was telling me how screwed up it is to test students on parking into car lots without the aid of the poles. They were there for a reason to resemble the headlights of the car next to the lot. And now they are gone and replaced with curbs. How often can you have a car lot with curbs surrounding its perimeter?

School has structured the training syllabus but the element to simulate the real-world is often missing. Feedback and letters have been sent in to make it better but they are fallen on deaf ears. Do you call resistance stubborn or resolute?
